The event is organised by Queen Mary University of London and is part of Centre for European Research (CER) Paris seminar series 'The Idea of Europe: Past, Present and Future.'
The Queen Mary University of London faculty launched a lecture by Helena Farrand Carrapico, Professor of International Relations and European Politics at Northumbria University, who specialises on European Union internal security governance.
Drawing on her recent publications and her current ESRC grant on EU cybersecurity policy, Helena reflected on the emergence of the concept of digital sovereignty, which has been gaining momentum in the EU’s political and policy discourses over the past few years, and hon ow the discourse and practices of digital sovereignty are redefining European security integration.
How can we understand digital sovereignty and why is it relevant? Why is the EU making use of the concept of sovereignty, a traditional notion of modern statecraft? What kind of cybersecurity actor does the EU want to become? What is the impact of Brexit on this area?
